August 4th, 2022

Jim passed away on August 4th, in Kamloops, B.C.  Jim is predeceased by his wife Jeanne (2015) and is survived by his children, Brant (Julie-Anne), Donna (Gordon), Gayle and Monica as well as his grandchildren, Don, Dylan, Bianca, Jesse, Matthew, Olivia, Paul, Elizabeth, and eight great grandchildren.  Jim is also survived by his sister Amanda (Bubbles).

Anyone who knew Jim, knows that he lived a full life.

He forged lifelong friendships with fellow ranchers and cowboys, hockey players (1949/50 BC Championship Hockey Team), golfers and skiers (Sun Peaks Antiques).

Jim came from a well-known ranching family (Seven-0 Ranch) and he and his brother, Bill, were inducted into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame (2009).  Jim made friends with everyone who’s path he crossed along the way and earned the nickname “Jimmy Walking Eagle.” Well, now is the time for Jim to stop walking / riding and to soar like an eagle.

Special thanks to the staff at Ridgepointe Chartwell and his close friends Vic, Phyllis, Ina, Eveline, Adolph, and his entire card playing crew.  Thank you, as well, to Marnie and Dr. Chahal.

A very special thank you to his family for providing unending support and love.

Condolences may be expressed at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation.
